vsamelQuestion:: I have a DELL D620 with a docking station? How do I make Ubuntu work with docking / undocking?05:59
LxJkyI'm not able to run k3bsetup. I'v changed the permission for cdrecord, cdrdao to 4750, but I'm still not able to run k3bsetup. Any direction will be greatly appreciated.06:00
mjg59vsamel: With feisty, it /should/ work06:01
vsamelusing Edgy06:01
mjg59Then you don't06:01
LxJkyvsamel: That is exactly the laptop i have, but I'm running Edgy 6.10. Right now I'm on the docking station. What issues are you experiencing?06:01
Nailor_mjg59: Have you looked at the bug concerning Asus+ipw3945?06:02
=== Nailor_ is now known as Nailor
vsamelLxJky: ya i'm on edgy 6.10 too....i docked the laptop and have a dvi connected to the docking station...dont see anything there.06:02
vsamelLxJky: VGA does not work either06:03
vsamelLxJky: how did u get urs working?06:04
LxJkyvsamel: Have you tried this site "http://ubuntu-laptop.sourceforge.net" They have a .pl which configures this laptop exactly as it should run.06:05
vsamelnot yet will try now06:11
mjg59Excellent! A script to break things.06:12
NailorYup =)06:12
vsamelLxJky: where do u put this script?06:14
NailorRunning those "magic" scripts can produce a load of problems06:16
mjg59If you have an nvidia chip and you're using the nvidia driver and you want DVI to work when you hotplug the dock, then I'm afraid you'll have to talk to nvidia06:17
LxJkyvsamel: save it in your /tmp directory. You need to be root to run this. Make sure you have update your laptop before you run this, and you need to be connected to the internet. This does not mean you need to have a browser running.06:20
Nailormjg59: I've reported a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/99732), how in hell do I debug what happens in suspend/wahterver06:20
LxJkymjg59: It works flawlessly.06:20
mjg59If you run that script, please do not file any bugs06:20
NailorLxJky: It propably works until next time you're Ubuntu updates kernel or some other06:21
Nailor..packages06:21
vsamelhmm....Now i dunno what to do.... some people say its working for them...some say it could cause problems06:21
mjg591) don't use ndiswrapper06:21
mjg592) use the existing package manager tools to install the nvidia drivers if you want to06:21
LxJkyvsamel: To get resume, and suspend to work follow this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellLatitudeD620.06:22
mjg59Nailor: No clue, I'm afraid06:22
NailorDarn.06:22
NailorIt somehow (after 2.6.20-13 release of generic kernel) started to set my wifi to rf_kill mode in suspend.06:23
mjg59Oh that wiki page is full of errors06:23
NailorWith 2.6.20-13 the MODULES_WHITELIST works somehow (not fully bullet proof)06:23
LxJkymjg59: I've been trying to get my Dell Lattitude to work with the drivers that activate nVidia, and the bcm43xx without success untill I use the Ubuntu Laptop Project script. Stop scarring this person. The sript works flawlessly.06:23
NailorSo did the Automatix too. :P06:24
=== mjg59 fixes the most awkward issues with the wiki entry
mjg59LxJky: All I'm saying is that once you've run some third party script that messes with your system configuration and installed impossible to debug Windows drivers, you're not getting any support from us06:26
vsamelLooks like I dont have an nvidia chip no dvi on my laptop...but vga doesnt work either06:27
vsamelI dont want to mess around with my wireless and stuff....all i need to get in place is the display working through the docking station and dock/undock support06:28
Nailorwell, mjg59 said it should work with feisty06:29
vsamelI'm using Edgy though06:29
mjg59Well, I can't guarantee it06:29
LxJkymjg59: I understand, and respect your position; however, I was not able to get my laptop to function correctly with nVidia or wireless interface untill I used the Ubuntu Laptop Project Script. I could even get the cutter program to help, and I was getting help from Ubuntu Support.06:29
mjg59But it's more likely to06:30
mjg59Please don't call it the Ubuntu Laptop Project Script06:30
mjg59That's not the Ubuntu Laptop Project06:30
LxJkyLike vsamel, I using Edgy 6.10. That is what we have in common.06:30
Nailorvsamel: Well, you could try to update to Feisty, if you dare06:30
vsamelallrite. I'm using Ubuntu on my work laptop, but for now trying anything new and stoping myself from working seems to bold. Maybe i'll get back to you guys later. Conflicting solutions are always scary to naive user like me. Thanks guys06:32
LxJkymjg59: the website is http://ubuntu-laptop.sourceforge.net. However; I stand corrected.06:32
mjg59LxJky: Well, it shouldn't be06:32
LxJkymjg59: perhaps you can provide some insight as to why I can't seem to run k3bsetup after installing it via Synaptic. This is the reason I visited this chat line to begin with.06:34
mjg59I don't use KDE, I'm afraid06:35
=== gsasha_ [n=gsasha@89.0.219.196.dynamic.barak-online.net] has joined #ubuntu-laptop
LxJkymjg59: I thought that the defaul desktop which Edgy installed was gnome. Is this not true. How do I verify?06:36
mjg59Yes, it's gnome, but k3b is a KDE application06:37
=== gsasha_ [n=gsasha@89.0.219.196.dynamic.barak-online.net] has joined #ubuntu-laptop
LxJkymjg59: Got it. What do you recommend?06:38
mjg59That depends on what you want to do06:38
mjg59Serpantine is installed by default and will produce audio CDs06:39
mjg59If you just want to burn data files, use nautilus06:39
LxJkymjg59: Burn CD / DVD / DATA / Music06:40
